Description
Unfortunately, we don't know enough about either the ethnicity of the Elamites or their mode of life. However, while drawing I used a number of archaeological findings as references. One of them is this artifact:
www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notice…
The cuneiform inscription on it says, "I am Napir-Asu, wife of Untash-Napirisha. May the curse of great Gods fall on him who breaks my statue, on him who mutilates the inscription..."

Untash-Napirisha, her husband, whose title was 'King of Anshan and Susa', lived in the 13th century BC. Under him the culture of Elam reached its highest peak, the kingdom defied Babylon and became the greatest power in the entire Middle East.
